Five Free Courses from Stanford Start This Month

Stan­ford’s big open course ini­tia­tive keeps rolling along. On March 12, three new cours­es will get under­way:

• Design and Analy­sis of Algo­rithms
• Nat­ur­al Lan­guage Pro­cess­ing
• Cryp­tog­ra­phy

Then, start­ing on March 19, two more will take flight:

• Game The­o­ry
• Prob­a­bilis­tic Graph­i­cal Mod­els

The cours­es gen­er­al­ly fea­ture inter­ac­tive video clips; short quizzes that pro­vide instant feed­back; the abil­i­ty to pose high val­ue ques­tions to Stan­ford instruc­tors; feed­back on your over­all per­for­mance in the class; and a state­ment of accom­plish­ment at the end of the course.

And, yes, the cours­es are free and now open for enroll­ment.

As always, don’t miss our big list of 425 Free Online Cours­es. It may just be the sin­gle most awe­some page on the web.
